    State of the Nation Address to the 3rd Session of the 10th Parliament 08/11/11 State of the Nation Address to the 3rd Session of the 10th Parliament State of the Nation Address to the 3rd Session of the 10th Parliament STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY Lt. GEN. SERETSE KHAMA IAN KHAMA PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF BOTSWANA TO THE THIRD SESSION OF THE TENTH PARLIAMENT "BOTSWANA FIRST" 7th November 2011, GABORONE: 1. Madam Speaker, before we begin, I request that we all observe a moment of silence for those who have departed during the past year. Thank you. 2. Let me also take this opportunity to commend the Leader of the House, His Honour the Vice President, on his recent well deserved awards. In addition to the Naledi ya Botswana, which he received for his illustrious service to the nation, His Honour also did us proud when he received a World Citizen Award for his international, as well as domestic, contributions. I am sure other members will agree with me that these awards are deserving recognition of a true statesman. 3. Madam Speaker, it is a renewed privilege to address this Honourable House and the nation. This annual occasion allows us to step back and take a broader look at the critical challenges we face, along with the opportunities we can all embrace when we put the interests of our country first. 4. As I once more appear before you, I am mindful of the fact that this address will be the subject of further deliberations.

  • Wildlife-Livestock Interface, Veterinary Cordon Fence Damage
    Mogotsi et al. Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice (2016) 6:21 Pastoralism: Research, Policy DOI 10.1186/s13570-016-0068-7 and Practice RESEARCH Open Access Wildlife-livestock interface, veterinary cordon fence damage, lack of protection zones, livestock theft and owner apathy: Complex socio-ecological dynamics in Foot and Mouth disease control in southern Africa Kabo Mogotsi1*, Olaotswe Ernest Kgosikoma2 and Keotshepile Fredric Lubinda3 Abstract Current efforts to control and possibly eradicate the highly contagious and economically important Foot and Mouth disease (FMD) in Botswana are hampered by numerous inextricably linked constraints. These constraints were unveiled using a questionnaire-based approach among 94 communal area livestock owners in eastern Botswana’sZone6 (FMD-free zone without vaccination, straddling part of the Central and North East Districts, sharing a common border with Zimbabwe to the east). The area has a history of FMD, with the last outbreaks recorded in 2002 and 2003 prior to the study. Some of the most outstanding constraints in FMD control were (1) rampant cross-border livestock theft, (2) veterinary cordon fence damage attributed to illegal immigrants and an ever-increasing elephant population, (3) livestock interaction with FMD-susceptible wild ungulates on the same rangelands, and (4) an absence of a protection zone (formerly ‘buffer zone’) along the Botswana/Zimbabwean border as well as (5) general apathy towards daily livestock management demonstrated by some owners/herders. The paper further discusses these complex socio- ecological constraints as perceived by livestock owners and offers possible policy considerations including targeted FMD awareness campaigns, strengthening of FMD risk analysis capacity and synchronization of surveillance and control strategies among neighbouring countries as well as adoption of approaches such as compartmentalization and commodity-based trade to enable greater access of Botswana’s beef to high-value international markets.

In this stats brief, the reference point of the population projections was the 2011 Population and Housing Census, in which the total population by age and sex is available. Population projections give a picture of what the future size and structure of the population by sex and age might look like. It is based on knowledge of the past trends, and, for the future, on assumptions made for three components of population change being fertility, mortality and migration. The projections are derived from mathematical formulas that use current populations and rates of growth to estimate future populations. The population projections presented is for Cities, Towns and Villages excluding associated localities for the year 2020. Generally, population projections are more accurate for large populations than for small populations and are more accurate for the near future than the distant future.
